I had no idea they were so well known and "popular" (well, you know, as popular as you can get) in Ireland. Here in the States I had to discover them via the internet (thank god I did). But everyone around me knew the songs and wow.... it was amazing.... I was right by one of the speakers so I was quite literally "feeling" the music... :laugh4: I love how they came out for about 4 different stage bows... :laugh3: :heart: They're incredible................ jeez. Oh wow, Saturday was a complete wipeout. But I was seeing such amazing bands that nothing could bring me down. Of course I'm paying for it now, I've got a massive cold and sinus infection coming on...:rolleyes: That's what ya get for standing and moshing for 3 hours in the pouring rain to The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys.. Damn them!!!

Thanks!! :nice: Did you enjoy it? You went, right? It was soooooooo amazing. Best weekend of my life, most definately. What bands did you see?

:stunned: They were the best band (IMHO) to play Oxegen. Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa.

Whoa, that's a great picture!! :stunned:

YAY JAMIE!!!! I tried to sing happy birthday to him at Oxegen, but uhm..... it was pretty lost in a crowd of 60,000...... :rolleyes: awww bless... :nice:

I saw Sigur Ros last night..... Wow. They COMPLETELY blew my mind. I was right on the barrier and luckily could see almost everything (although I was off to the side more). Abso-fucking-lutely amazing. They were one of the BEST bands of the entire Oxegen festival weekend, and I saw some really amazing bands play. What a way to turn 18 and end the best day of my life :nice: I cried at the end, it was so unbelievably powerful. I took tons of video of them too, so I'll be uploading those when I get back into the States tomorrow. Actually, more like Wednesday since all tomorrow I'll have insane jetlag.... God, they are so amazing. Even my dad who didn't know them at all (and kept calling them "Sigaro" like "Figaro" :rolleyes:) was blown away. The tent was packed too, which was surprising considering the Red Hot Chili Peppers were playing at the same exact time.

Oh my god. I went to Nude today, the cafe that Bono's brother Norman owns, in Dublin. :stunned: It was sooooooooooooooooooooooo so so nice!! I got a strawberry smoothie and it was really healthy. Wonderful little place, and U2 was being blasted over the "radio" thing. Something I noticed today while walking around Dublin: The main graffiti (other than shamrocks and "IRISH PRIDE") written on the walls here is "ONE LOVE". I think that's really awesome. I went on one of those city tour bus things and the driver called Bono an arse... :bigcry: And I went by the Clarence. Quite posh, I was too scared to go in. The bellhop looked pretty intimidating. Maybe one of the guys were in there... I love Dublin and U2! :D

Oh! And thanks for all the porn, guys!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh my god you guys are all so amazing and awesome and sweet!!! :nice: Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes!! I can't believe I'm 18 now... it's kind of creepy... Now I can get tried in adult court when I.......... :uhoh: And no one can be charged with rape... :) Hm, well I spent my birthday first in a little wooden shack in the hills of Ireland, then I saw the Kooks, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs and (whoa they were amazing) Sigur Ros. Best birthday ever. I just went out into Dublin and had 2 pints of Guinness and an irish coffee........ whooooooooooooooooo.... So I'm a bit.... well, that was a couple hours ago so I gues I'm kind of ok now... *rambling* Anyways. Thank you soooo much everyone, I'll be back in the States tomorrow. I don't want to leave Ireland!! :bigcry: I've got to go help my dad pack now. lmfao Kelli, I love ya :kiss:

I see Arctic Monkeys in less than 2 days (Oxegen Festival). I'll have you know, I'm passing up both We Are Scientists and Dirty Pretty Things to see them! :smug: This HAS to be love. lmfao lmfao I'M SO EXCITED EE GADS!!!! (ee gads?)

lmfao, that man obviously has a small penis.

Whoa! That is so so cool! Good for her! :nice:

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, baby's eyes! :nice: That actually does look like Imagine (I can play that on the piano as well). Cool.

Nice one Reilly! What you playing? Or are you being a poser pianist? :sneaky: :P

I just realized how hysterical this title is. "Fat Fury". WHAT THE HELL :laugh4:

I can write the ending right now: And they all fucked each other senseless and Chris got pregnant with Guy's baby while Jonny decided he was actually in love with Liam Gallagher and runs off with him the end. :thinking: Yeah, that works! :smug:

"The day we met in high school, we made a commitment to each other. When we thought up the Strokes, we made a commitment to that. Nick, you used to be so determined... you were always like the little brother. You were always the one I could turn to when something was wrong. Now what? Now do I just have to keep going on without you?" "No! I'll always be here for you! I'll always be Nick. I'll always be your best friend." :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :laugh4: I love this shit. /done hijacking thread

Yes!!!!!!!! :laugh4: This is so messed up! I always wonder what men must think when it's so obvious that their female fans question their sexuality. Which is like.... a big no no for most guys. :uhoh: :laugh4: Awkward!

Oh my god, I knew that the Chris Jonny thing was going to be mentioned :laugh4: That story fucking gave me nightmares. Holy crap. But whoa, that site. I never noticed........ LMFAOOOO. STROKES SLASH. HOLY FUCK. *GOES TO READ THIS* :laugh4: This is fucked up!!!! I'd be interested to see someone do an ending to that other story. That'd be hysterical.

I'd have said worse. Good thing I'm not famous.

Bump. I take it there aren't that many fans around here.... Coldplay fans are pussies when it comes to the Libs and the lot, yeah? :laugh4: I see Dirty Pretty Things in a week!!!!!!!!!! Well, less than a week!!! :stunned: I am so so so so so so so so so so soooo excited. heh, I found Carl Barat's myspace last night. But he's disguised himself and I don't want him to get rid of it. So don't go friending him! ;) Well, actually, I'm considering doing it....... :uhoh: Carl's: http://www.myspace.com/dannychannel And incase anyone's wondering, Annalisa is Carl's missus, who's myspace is here: http://www.myspace.com/annalisa_astarita She is sooo lovely and beautiful. I love the picture of her, Carl and Didz daughter Nico :nice: Oh, and while I'm on the subject, Therese, I added you on myspace! :) *bored so keeps yacking* Um.... hm. Does anyone like Yeti (John Hassall's band)?

I loooooooooooooove Gin&Milk. I heard that the IOW performance was absolutely killer! They seem like they're totally blinding live, I'M SO EXCITED. OH MY GOD. :laugh4: Then I'm seeing them twice more in August! (I wish three times, but I'm not 21 for the second Bowery show which I got a ticket for....... I'd get a fake ID but I really don't look 21 :( .) I'm psyched! I've seen pictures of the Great Scott in Boston where I'm seeing them and it's soooooooooo so so so so small, smallest venue I'll have ever been too. I don't even know if they have a barrier! Ah. I'M PSYCHED. :cool:

Aw, well see I don't have an issue uploading something for people if I'm sure they'll go out and buy, which I'll most assuredly be doing for Thom. The man's my idol, I couldn't rip him off if I tried!! :laugh4: I'll try to get on and do a few tracks for you tomorrow, but I'm leaving for Ireland soon and I might not have time...

:( I actually have it all downloaded on my other computer... Maybe Nik can? :) I'm sorry!!

HOORAY! :dance: Haha, I can't stop! As I always say, the band that gets naked together, stays together! :smug: :laugh4: Ok I'll stop hogging this thread now... :(
